Unforgettable Stargazing Experience

Du, Weihao - 05/05/2025

5

Glanllyn Caravan Park offered one of the best stargazing experiences I’ve ever had. Set right on the shores of Lake Bala, the location was perfect for capturing the Milky Way, shooting stars, and incredible star trails. The peaceful atmosphere and minimal light pollution made it ideal for night photography. Facilities were clean, the site felt safe, and the staff were warm and helpful. If you’re into astrophotography or just love starry skies, this is the place to be!

Great Location and Facilities

Crowther, David - 04/05/2025

5

The location of the site with its own beach is fabulous. The facilities on site are very clean and maintained to a very high standard. The company achieves a high standard for all key services that you want from a camping site . There is good presence of staff around and therefore you feel there would be a good enforcement of necessary 'rules' so the experience for all is a good one. I am a sailor and I am able to launch my boat from the camp site beach - I attach my crazy garmin map for the sail on Sunday 27/04/25!

Superb site

Proctor, Graham - 04/05/2025

This is our second visit to Glanllyn and found the facilities were kept to a high standard of cleanliness at all times. The location and accessibility to the lake and surrounding countryside was excellent. Check in was easy and received a warm welcome from the proprietor. Bala town is only a short distance away and provides a variety of shops and restaurants to enhance your stay. Thank you Glanllyn we will se you again in the near future.
